Crafting of Mojaris
Making Mojaris is a craft of perfection. The various designs, colors,
sizes are accompanied by the comfort and softness which is added to the
Mojaris. Mojaris the Indian Shoes are made of wood, cloth and threads.
First of all the wood/ leather which makes for the flooring or the feet
part of the mojari is cut into the desired design or size. Around 200
designs are crafted out each month by a individual manufacturer.
Once the base is cut, then comes the turn of the upper part of mojari.
The cloth is taken, cut in the desired shape and the stewn from all the
sides. Then the design is made out of thread s of various colors and
designs made out. This design when completed, is then stewn with the
base of the mojari. The mojari is now ready to be sold.
Once crafted the Mojari is sold in the market in bulk. And then there
it is, hanging in various shops with various prices attached to them as
per the design and the wood used in crafting the Mojari.
Suggestions
- Mojaris are the traditional Indian Wears not to
be worn in Daily use.
- If you are wearing the Mojaris for the first
time, take half an hour out walking in your room to make your feet
accustomed to the mojaris.
- Wear Mojaris with the Traditional Indian Dresses
like the Lehnga Chunri, Kurta Payjama and Shewani.
- Though Mojaris are the traditional wears of
Rajasthan, a variant of them can also be found in other Indian
States like Gujarat. Other major Cities like New Delhi and Agra too
have variants of Mojaris.
- Usually there are separate shops for Mojaris, so
you won't find them in normal Adidas or Levis Shoes Shops OR any
Shopping Mall. Ask for Mojaris shop
if you are going to shop for Mojaris.
- The price range of Mojaris begins from Rs 1000/-
and goes upto Rs 5000/- as per the quality of the Mojari. More the
intricate the design and pure the leather, more is the price of the
Mojari.
